On this day we went to the Meguro Sky Garden. What's so special about it? Check this out.

From the outside it looks like a concrete Roman coliseum. Atop the Shuto expressway is a landscaped garden looking over the Meguro ward. Surprisingly being on top of a freeway the sound of cars is not noticeable at all.

It's about a fifteen minute walk down the 246 from Shibuya, but if you'd rather take the train the closest station is Ikejiri-Ohashi station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi line.

For some strange reason it reminds me of the High Line urban renewal development I saw in New York. Similar feeling elevated garden. While it's a novel idea, I probably won't come back. If I lived around here it would be a great place to have a picnic and a few drinks, but for now and forever Yoyogi park takes that special place in my heart.

About Me

For some reason I have decided to leave my fine, if a little ordinary well paying job and family home where I don't pay rent and move to a country where I won't be able to read and barely speak the language. I have been to Tokyo before for a very short time. I was lost, confused and virtually on another planet. Why am I doing this? Because I HAVE to. I need to get out of the comfort zone I am in and really begin to live my life, start again and hopefully be happier overall. When I am sober I am thinking, "What the hell are you thinking?!?" but when I'm drunk I'm thinking "WOO HOOO!". So maybe if I'm drunk all the time I will accept this better.
